Stretch for your meal


Another photo of a tree, or in this case, the woods.

This one was taken this past spring after a family outing to Lake Galena just outside of Doylestown, Pa. Although the main subject here is this cool felled tree and the branch that is reaching out to grab me, what first caught my attention and caused us to stop to make a photograph was the browse line on the trees. They all had been nibbled by deer and the spring foliage height was an amazingly abrupt horizontal line right at the upper reach of a standing deer's head. It was only after I got out of the car and entered the woods that I saw this tree and worked with it for an interesting photograph. I really liked the bright green color contrasting with the brown fallen leaves.
